The analyst has a Buy rating on CAR Group due to its strong global portfolio, consistent earnings growth, and exposure to underpenetrated markets with clear pathways for value creation. Trading at a 24% discount to peers, CAR offers an attractive risk-adjusted return profile compared to other ASX-listed classifieds like REA (ASX:REA) and SEEK (ASX:SEK).And Bell Potter maintains a Buy rating on Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN) and raises its price target to $10.30/share due to stronger uranium market fundamentals, stable ramp-up at Langer Heinrich Mine, and upward adjustments to cash and share estimates. The stock remains undervalued relative to peers, with further upside potential as its Patterson Lake South project is de-risked.
